THIS is in the bnikling of the West
Mississippi Valley Railroad to Fort
Allen, opposite Baton Rouge. which
place it will he remembered was to
he the terminus Of the Louisiana
Central Railroad from Lafayette.
With the Louisiana Central road
built, this section would be opened
mp to the world, Independent of New
Orleans, Tor the West Valley road
is now a certainty. and will give
direct communication with st. Louis
and the East. as well as New Or.
leans. Speaking Of the new road
the Dooaldsonvil|e Chief says:
On Of the most important of the
new lines of railway which it il
proposed to build on Louisiana soil
is the West Mississippi Valley road,
to be laid from Bowie, Arkansas, to
Port Allen, opposite the city Of
Baton Rongp, passing through the
parishes Of East Carroll. Madison,
Tensas, COncordia, Eo;ete Coupee
and west Baton Rouge. and con.
Meeting at its southern terminus

The interest of the reader is Exed
at once at the opening chapter of
this fascinating book, and does not
flag to the very last line. Dr.
'Warren's experience has been,varied
and unusually interesting, and in
his own inimitable style he has
presented the story of his life in
such a manner as to be perfectly
captivating. The volume is filed
with interesting cases, thrilling
narrative, and personal adventure
as seldom falls to the lot of any
person, still less a physician. We
commend it with the greatest
confidence for the pleasure and
profit which the book will afford.
